Perhaps a model where everyone is in charge of a section...Callan at 07:13 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via web...but not solely responsibleCallan at 07:13 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOk, I could do the significance and do a bit of educational broader perspective, just work in with tania.Denise at 07:13 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webyes agree, we can certainly add in sections, that is good collaboration.Denise at 07:13 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webSo Summary: Identify the change: Chris Explain its signicance: Denise Broader context: Tania Implications for education/educators: CallanCallan at 07:14 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webThe executive summary, we could just have our paragraphs in summary.Denise at 07:15 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webGreat summary Callan. Do we need to set a deadline?Denise at 07:15 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webAnd the change we are talking about, is the Digital Education Revolution - the change in education post KRudd/Smith policyCallan at 07:15 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webSounds good - any chance I could get both your mobile numbers just incase I need to contact youTania at 07:16 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYes DER policy, should we look at its NSW implementation policy for state schools, maybeDenise at 07:16 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webmy number is DL that is 0438540901Denise at 07:17 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webDL? Mine is 0405225526Callan at 07:17 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webThanksTania at 07:18 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webDL is my initials, DOh! I am a bit blond sometimes.Denise at 07:18 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webTania, in terms of broader context, I would think you would be looking at the shift towards technology in Ed, particularly from a politicalCallan at 07:18 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOKTania at 07:19 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webThe political side you could branch out from the first assignmentCallan at 07:19 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI think we would also be looking at the shift towards 1:1 computing. Why is this the model that has prevailed?Callan at 07:19 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webSignificance: thinking about the change in thinking; 1;1 is part of it, the way learning and social networking etc.Denise at 07:20 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYepTania at 07:20 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webJust thinking: In terms of defininng the topic/scope. Perhaps something like the increased use of technology in high schoolsCallan at 07:22 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOk, I think that is good. How many words do you think our sections should be 750 words is 6 mins, approx. (I think)Denise at 07:22 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webJust thinking about phrasing it in a way that doesn't assume that KRudd defined change. I think it was very reactionaryCallan at 07:23 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webPresentation is only 15 mins and I think we get marked on timing as well as content so maybe 500 words each bewteen the 4 of us?Tania at 07:24 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webWe have 3-4 mins each. Also, I don't think we are marked on our writing??Callan at 07:24 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webNot sure - would have to checkTania at 07:25 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webIn terms of presentations, I am an advocate of minimal text on screens - I don't like reading stuff out to peopleCallan at 07:25 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYes agreed, he saw DER as an economy. Ok, got it about the time. Yes 3-4 mins is such a small amount of time. Anyway, happy with that.Denise at 07:25 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webyes, I agree about the text, on screen, definitely not, but if we have prepared our notes around that idea. Yes and no clipart!Denise at 07:26 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webAgreedTania at 07:26 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webCool. So we need to check if our wikispaces site will be assessed - otherwise there is really no need to pretty it upCallan at 07:27 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI am thinking we would just reference the wiki, add images etc.. move down it, not powerpoint? ideas anyone.Denise at 07:28 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webBut writing up your 500 words on the site means we can all read up on each other's sections and know what everyone would sayCallan at 07:28 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI will leave that to you both as I haven't worked in wikispaces before -Tania at 07:29 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYes agree, so we need to put it all on the wiki. Wikis can have links to things etc.Denise at 07:29 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webLeave it to the two of you to decide I meant!Tania at 07:29 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webto be honest, I am not sure how important the visual side of the presentation will be - As long as it isn't as tacky as the other groupsCallan at 07:29 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webPerhaps a simple Prezi - basic headings and/or images if neededCallan at 07:30 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI dont do tacky Callan!Tania at 07:30 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOk. Wont be tacky!But succinct and clever is good. We need to make sure Chris is on track.Denise at 07:30 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webHa ha, good to hear. Those groups last time were ridiculous! And they also went for far too long.Callan at 07:31 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI did think of a prezi, however, I like being able to show the wiki as a good group collaboration depository!Denise at 07:31 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webCallan can you make sure Chris is on track as you seem to have the relationship?Tania at 07:31 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYeah, I will contact himCallan at 07:32 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYes totally agree about the longness of the other groups! not good.Denise at 07:32 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webDenise although I registered for Prezi, have never used it - this is a HUGE learning curve which is good.Tania at 07:32 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI have never used Prezi myself - although lots of my students use it - they love itCallan at 07:33 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webFunny you should say about learning curve, I learnt the most in the whole course in group project with AnneBB, fantastic.Denise at 07:33 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOK maybe that means my sons have used itTania at 07:33 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI use prezi all the time! you can actually have a group prezi, but have a time life.Denise at 07:34 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webSo as for our presentation: Perhaps (and I am happy to volunteer) we could work on turning the wiki into a more visual websiteCallan at 07:35 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webOk so do we use wiki or prezi (I did like your thought that wiki indicates group collaboration)Tania at 07:35 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webJust a basic home page, that links to the various sections with key headings/images for each section should sufficeCallan at 07:35 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYes that sounds good.Tania at 07:35 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webI can do the prezi based on the groups stuff, and then send out the link for all to edit later. However, yes lets make the wiki great!Denise at 07:35 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webThe wiki is a webpage essentially, yes lets just make it look good that way.Denise at 07:36 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webAlright. I am going to put this transcript, and a summary on the wiki now. As well as contact Chris and make sure he is up to speedCallan at 07:37 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webSorry that I am not up to speed so I will be typing and hoping you will do the techo stuff Callan - is that OK?Tania at 07:37 AM, 16 Oct 2011 via webYep, I am fine with that.
